ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. Mr. GYE has the honour to announce to the Nobility, Gentry, Subscribers, and the Public, that the Opera Season of 1864 will commence on TUESDAY NEXT, MARCH 29TH. The forthcoming Season will be the Eighteenth of The Royal Italian Opera, seventeen years having since its origin a l es t a bli s h ment. now elapsed It cannot but be a source of pride and gratification to the Director to reflect that he is aeain enabled to place before his Subscribers some account of the arrangements which he has made for theit entertainment, well calculated to sustain the pre-eminent position held by the Royal Italian Opera among the greatest Lyrical Establishments of Europe. It will be seen by the following slight outline that the company of Artistes is of unprecedented strength. Ic in• eludes, each in their particular emplot, the three greatest Prima Donne, the four most renowned Tenors, and the three most celebrated Bar tones in Europe; while the Basses h ave b een reinforced by the two most esteemed Artistes in Italy and Germany. Mademoiselle ADELINA PATTI. Madlle. ADELINA PATTI will return with fresh laurels gathered during the recess. This young Artiste has, during the past winter, visited her native city of Madrid, in which capital she was born on Marsh 19th, 1843, and where, as it well be imagined, the display of her wonderful talents Was received with the most unbounded enthusiasm by her eonzpateiotes. Manila. PATTI was honoured by several personal inter views with her Majesty the Queen of Spain, she received many distinguished marks of favour from the Nobility and G entry,while the Public, notwithstanding that the prices of admission to the Opera were raised beyond all former pre cedent in Madrid, filled the theatre to overflowing on every night of representation. On the 19th of August last, when the Congress of Ger man Potentates met in the City of Frankfort-on-the- Maine, Madlle. Patti received the distinguished honour of being specially summoned to.perform on the occasion of the Grand Gala Fete given by the Authorities of that city to the assembled Sovereigns. As expressed in the joutnals of thee ay, Madlle. Patti literally sang to a "Parterre de Prince" From Madrid Madlie. Patti proceeded to Paris, and is there fulfilling her second engagement to the satisfaction and delight of the abonnees of the Thatre Italien. The Repertoire of Madlie. PATTI, of unusual extent for 5 0 young an Artiste, now includes the Operas of " La Son narribula," s' Luei di Lammermoor," La Traviata," "Martha," "Do n P asqua l e ," " Dirorah," " II Barbiere," Don Giovanni," "La Gazza Ladra," &c. In addition to these, Madlle. PATTI Rill appear in the characters of Mina in "L'Eiisir d'Amore" and in that of Maria in "La Figlia del Reggi m ent o ," which she performed, for the first time, at the close of last season ; she will also appear, and for the first time, in the part of Susannah in " Le Nozze di Figaro," and in Margherita in Gounod's Opera of " Faust." Mademoiselle PAULINE LUCCA. It is indeed a rare event in the annals of the lyric stage that two young Artistes of extraordinary and commanding talents should appear for the first time almost simulta neously as candidates for public favour. About the same period that Madlle. PATTI made her first appearance at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, the !musical world of Germany was sounding the praises of a young Artiste who just th en h a d made her debut at the Royal Opera at Berlin. This debutante was MdllA. PAU.- I,INE Lucca—her youth, her beauty, and her wonderful voice, soon placed her securely in public favour, and in a Very short time the Prussian Government presented her with an engagement for ten years. The Director of the Royal Italian Opera was naturally anxious to afford an opportunity to his subscribers to hear so interesting an Artiste, and towards the end of last Season, was enabled to procure (by special favour) of the Royal Hof-Theater- Direction of Berlin, permission for Madlle. LUCCA to give three representations in London. The success which at tended the young Artiste on the occasion of these three performances will not easily be forgotten by these who Witnessed them, Madlle LUCCA. returned to Berlin full of honours and succeeded in obtaining, by Royal favour, an annual conge of three months ; and it, is thus that Mr. Gye has been able to secure her services for the greater portion of his coming season. Madlle. LuccA. will make her debut in Meyerbeer's Opera "Lea Huguenots." She will then perform the cha racter of Margherita in Gounod's Opera of "Faust;" then that of Cherubino in Mozart's Opera, " Le Nozze di P l4 .aro • afterwards that of Mrs. Ford in Nicolay's Opera, The Merry Wives of Windsor • and lastly the great l 'ae of Cat ins in Meyerbeer's Grand Historical Opera,ar du 'Eoile Nord." Mademoiselle EMILIA. L A GRUA. It has never been the habit of the Director of the Royal Italian Opera to herald forth the praises of Artistes about to make their first appearance at his Theatre, however great their continental reputations may have been; and in the re of the engagement o f M a d emo i se lle Lagiva it is not his intention vo depart from this custom any farther than to express a ve y con fid en t h o pe that this Artiste will sus t"). in London the reputation which she now enjoys abroad, viz.—that of being, in the Opera Seria, by far the greatest dramatic singer of the period. Mademoiselle Lagrua wilt arrive early in the Season, and , make h er fi rst appearance i n t h e c h arac t er o f Norma. he will a l so sustain t h e c h aracter o f L eonora in "La ~' a vor t a," Donna Anna in "Don Giovanni," Leonora in Fid elio," Desdemona in " Otello," Leonora in " II Tro vatore," and the principal role in Verdi's new Opera " La Forza del Destino," which was originally composed for her d ur i ng her engagement at the Imperial Theatre of St. Petersburg. A mong those who, this Season, will solicit for the first time the approbation of an English audience are-- Mademoiselle DESTINN (From the Imperial Opera of Vienna) Mademoiselle GIUSE PPINA TATI. (From the Royal Opera at Lisbon) Mademoiselle GARULLI (From La Scala, at Milan) Signor SCAL ESE (From the Theatre Italien, at Paris) Si g nor ATTRI (From LaPergola, at Florence) and Herr SCHMID (From the Imperial Opera, at Vienna). The appearance of Signor WACHTEL may also be con sidered as a debut, unavoidable circumstances having ob liged him to return to Germany after having appeared but three times at the Itc yal Italian Opera in the Season of 1862. Since that time Signor Wachtel has become at tached to the Imperial Opera, et Vienna, under an en• gagement of six years duration, interrupted only by a shor annual eonge. Signor WACHTEL will make his debut in the character of Manrico, in " Ii Trovatore ;" he will'„then:perform that of Arnoldo in " Guglielmo Tell ;" and afterwards the role of Jean de Leyden in Meyerbeer's Grand Opera, " La Prophete." Notwithstanding these new engagements, it will be ob served that the many favourite Artistes, whose talents have so long supported the Royal Italian Opera, have been re tained, and that the Director is thereby enabled to re-cast 'many of the Opera's, and to impart to them an unprece dented strength and completeness. Mademoiselle MARIE BATTU, now holding the high position of chief Prima Donna at the Academie Imperiale de Musique, in Paris, will perform for the first time, the character of Contessa, in Mozart's Opera of "Le Nozze di Figaro." Mademoiselle BATTU has kindly offered to sing also the part of Adalgisa, in " Norma," on the occa sion of the debut of Mademoiselle LAGRUA.. Mademoiselle ANTONIETTA FRICCI will sing, for the first time, the part of Bertha, in " Le Prophete," and that of Donna Elvira, in " Don Giovanni." Madame Thum will sing her original part of Pregiosilla " La Forza del Destino." Signor IloNcom will appear, for the first time, in the character of Pasquale, and in that of Fra Melitone in " La Forza del Destino." Signor TAMBERLIK will appear, for the first time in England, in his original part of Don Alvaro, in Verdi's new Opera, " La Forza del Destino, and, for the first time these six years, that of " Otello." Monsieur FAURE will perform, for the first time, the character of Nevers, in " Les Huguenots ; that of Figaro, in " Le Nozze di Figaro ;" and also his great role of Peter the Great, which he performed upwards of 100 nights in Paris, in Meyerbeer's Opera, " L' Etoile du Nord." Signor GRAZIANI will perform, for the first time, the character of Gugli e l mo T e ll ; th a t of " II Conte i n "L e Nozze di Figaro ;" and his original part in Verdi's new Opera, " La Forza del Destino," Signor NAUDIN, who so firmly established himself in the good opinion of the Subscribers last year. will, in addition to his other parts, perform, for the first time, that of Elvino in " La Sonnambuia," and that of Roberto in " Robert le Diable." Signor MARIO will perform, for the first time these eight years, the part of Nemorino, in" L'Eiisir d' more ;" also, for the first time these seven years, his celebrated character of Fernando in " La Favorite ;" and, for the first time, that of Faust, Mr. GYE feels assured that the subscribers will be gra tified to know that he retains the invaluable assistance of Mr. COSTA.

SECRETARY (pro tem.) J. C. llandfield, Esq. I. This Company has been constituted as an auxiliary to the " Contract Corporation." 2. The Company will undertake the construction cf Rail ways and o her public works as die u shed I it,,m the bu4i ness of the Contract Corporation, which consists principally of the negotiation and acceptance of contrasts, and the finan cial measures connected therewith. 3 The two Companies will work in harmony, but inde pendently of each other. 4. The opera ions of this Company will be conducted by the eminent contractors Messrs. Smith and Knight, who have transferred their whole bu-iness and interest on hi_ hly ,d -vantageous terms; all their valuable plant and existing contracts (including that for the construction of the Royal Sardinian Railway recently entered into) being ceded to the Company. The plant will be paid for in cash , and the re maining interest principally in shares, such shares being taken with £5 only per share credited hereon. 5. The numerous applications to Parliament in the present se4sion for powers to c tnstru.t branch and ad itional rail ways, and the well-known increasing demand for railways and other public works, not only in Europe and the colonies. but in all parts of the civilised world, open a wide field for the prcfitahle employment of capitaL 6. The Direc ors consider that, wi h all the elements of success, viz., a large working capital, the assistance of a powerful financ : al corporation, c mpled with the experience an I superintendence of pa rties conversant with the practical details of the badness, with an identity of interest, the pros pects of the Company are such as are seldom brought under public notice, 7.

AlthouOt the system of joint-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the tYquire 'tents of most departments of trade, it has rot been introduced for the business of the agri cultural and tittle markets of the metropolis ; and though the population has doubled within the last 25 years, and, con sequ ntly, the necessary quantity of supplies, yet the whole business, amounting to 15 to 2) millions per annum, is left in the ha, ds of a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to prori 7 e increased facili ties for this tr:, de by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and tae Metropolitan Cattle Market ; and subsequently, should it be !ound desrabic, by opening branches in the agricultural districts. The value of t ,, e rapidly-increasing commission business to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a knowledge that the method in which dealings are ,rried on at the Cattle Market consti utes the Bank the depository of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the produ er. The Metropolitan Meat or Poultry Market in in Smithfield, now in course of erection, is destined, by the terms of the Act of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other mar kets for meat in the metropolis. To this market will be con centrated all transactions for the supply of butchers' meat. poultry, and other produce to the inhabitants of the metro polis and a circle of 14 voiles round it. The DirectorshaviWcOnfirmed the provisional agreenvnt for the purchase of th r lucrative business of Messrs. Challis and Son, the advantage of commencing upon an established conneeti .n, under competent and experienced •• anwt - ement, will be secured to ,hareholders froat the commencem , nt of business, by which the dire tors are warranted in expecting that they will be enabled to declare a dividend during the first y ar. Th - t the number of joint-stock banks may be advan t , geously increased (more particularly under special cir cumstance , such as have led to the formation of the Albion Bank), is demonstrated by the fact that, so late as six years ago, when the number of joint-stock banks in London was not more than six, their total deposits did not exceed £2',000,000; while, now that the number of these banks has been doubled, the joint deposits are already more than trebled, amount ng to a total of £71.792,300. The dividends of the older banks range from 15 to 30 per cent., in accordance with the da es of their establishment : and the premiums on their shares are from 2eo to 3 , 0 p r cent in a precisely similar ratio. The deposits and dividends of the joint-stoca banks recently formed show a rapid pro gress towards identical results. Should no allotment take place. the deposits will be re turned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available to wards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned t ) the a plicant. plication for shares may be addressed to the bankers. brokers, or directors of the Company, and to the secretary at the °films of the Company.

A new bridge is now in emirs° of construction across the Seine at Auteuil, below the Pont de Groinlle, for the CehtiAuittion of the railway round Paris• The Sultan's iron yacht, which has been lying at Wool wich during the past fortnight, sailed for Constantinople on Friday last, having received a crew of various nations from the Sailors Home in London. Mr. Comyn, an officer of the Royal Naval Reserve, is in command of the yacht, and Mr. Harms, an English engineer, is in chief charge of the engines, and will probably remain in the permanent service of the Turkish Government. The Irresistible, 67, 400 horse power, fitting for the Coastguard service at Southampton, has been removed out of the great basin into the Medway, and on Saturday shipped her main deck guns, consisting of 24 32-pounders, which were sent from Chatham by the War Department transport Marlborough. In accordance with the orders of the Admiralty, seven of the improved gunboats, from the designs of Mr. Reed, are to be immediately commenced at Chatham, Portsmouth, Devonport, and Woolwich dockyards. They are to be called steam launches, and are to be completed with as much de spatch as the resources of the several dockyards will permit. The Adventure, screw troopship, Capt. C. L. Waddilove, remains at anchor at Spithead, the present orders being that she is to remain thers until about the 12th proximo. " .e fresh case of amallpox appears there among her crew she will proceed to Dover, and embark Aitereia battery of garri son artillery - , and a . detachment of the 2d. battalion of the 20th Regiment. From Dover she will proceed to Plymouth and there take on board the troops and naval supernumera ries conveyed to that port from Portsmouth in the Hima laya. She will then start on her China voyage. Statements have been made in connection with this ship, regarding the prevalence of small-pox at Portsmouth, which are ex aggerations. Small-pox is prevalent to a certain extent in some of the most crowded portions of Portsmouth and its suburbs, as it is jaat now in many other towns, but there is no foundation for the statement that there are crowds of people waiting at the doors of medical men for vaccination, &o. The disease made its appearance on board the Adven ture, and as a simple matter of precaution her voyage to China has been delayed, the cases having in the meantime been removed to hospital, a number of her crew vaccinated, and the ship thoroughly fumigated and cleansed. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Capt. Charles Wake, went cut of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Saturday, and com menced taking on board her powder and shell, preparatory to sailing on foreign service. The screw steam gunvessel Ranger, 5, Commander Gor don, from the eastward, arrived on Saturday in Plymouth Sound, where she filled up with coal from the hulk Lavinia, preparatory to the sailing for the West Coast of Africa. The screw steam troopship Himalaya, from Portsmouth, arrived on Friday at Plymouth, and landed at the Royal William Victualling-yard the troops destined to proceed to China in the Adventure. The seamen supernumeraries which came from Portsmouth were transferred to the Royal Adelaide, and on Saturday the Himalaya proceeded to moorings outside Keyham Steam-yard, into which she will be taken for the purpose of being docked and repaired. The Royal George, 78, at Devonport, will be commissioned on the Ist of April proximo by ;he officers and crew of the Ajax, 60. In accordance with instructions to that effect received from the Admiralty, every exertion is being used to com plete the Terrible, 22, 800. horse power, for the first divi sion of the Chatham Steam Reserve, as she will shortly be required for commission. The Terrible is the largest of the paddlewheel steamers in the British navy, and was built under the superintendence of Mr. 0. W. Lang, late the master•shipwright at Chatham dockyard. During the time she has been in dock, a period of several months, she has undergone such extensive repairs as to make her almost a new vessel. She i 6 intended for service in the Meditcr- ranean. THE ARMY. A public announcement, offering a reward of £3O, was last week put in circulation at Woolwich and elsewhere by the authorities of the War Department for the apprehension of a recruiting sergeant named James S sunders, who has been employed in that garrison, it is stated, for many yc are, and who, it now appears, has succeed d in realising some thousands of pounds, by means of perjury and false attes tations. It was his duty to enlist and receive recruits from other depots, and to carry out the preliminaries for their being sworn in. On the production of the attestation papers bearing the signatures of the local magistrate, the majority of which, it has been prayed, were forged, he was entitled to a bounty of Iss. Considerable sums of money, it ap pears, were likewise 'paid over to him, under a claim for rations and pay due to recruits not in exi,tcnce. Colonel Wodehouse, who has recently succeeded to the command of the Depot Brigade, 11,3yal Artillery, at Woolwich, having received informatioa which induced him to suspect the sergeant's probity, he was ordered to the guard room, and was placed in charge of Sergeant Harvey, recently reduced from the grade of sergeant-major for in subordination and breach of discipline. At roll call the delinquent managed to make his escape from the custody of his guard, and has not since been heard of. The circum stances of his escape are suspicious, and Sergeant Harvey has now taken his place under arrest. Other persons, it is feared, under authority in the garrison, are implicated.

The subjoined items of inteili• genre are taken from the Levant Herald : " The Sultan returned on Monday afternoon to Dolma- Bagtche from a shooting excursion at Gbiumlek.—'We understand that the wife of the Viceroy of Egypt is shortly expected in Constantinople with her childzen and suite.— The Duke of Rutland, and his medical attendant, Dr. Kingsley, who have been staying in Constantinople for some weeks, has left by the steamer for Athens. The Duke is greatly improved in health.—On Sunday last a fire, which at one time threatened rather serious consequences, broke out at Stamboul, in the Mahmoud Pacha quarter. Five private houses and fifteen shops were destroyed, and, strange to say, the fire communicated itself to the top of the minaret of the Mahmoud Pacha mosque, which was much injured.—The Count Della Minerva, formerly charge d'aJaires here for Italy, has been appointed Minister at Athens. Count Della Croce, first Secretary for Italy at Lisbon, has been appointed to the same position here in place of Count Patella, who, it is said, will proceed to the Hague.—We are informed that a Vizierial letter will shortly be forwarded to the Pacha of Egypt, for the pur pose of reminding him that the six months' term fixed by the Porte to enable M. de Lesseps to arrange his plans, having expired without any measures of this kind being adopted, the Viceroy must at once suspend the works of the Suez Canal.—Executions are fortunately rare in Con stantinople, but we had two of them yesterday morning. The Arab fisherman Kiritli Mustapha, who was condemned some time ago for the murder of a Zaptieh. at Kalatat Yeri, was hanged at the Bridge ; and at the same time the gar dener Ibrahim suffered the last penalty of the law in a similar manner at Scutari for the assassination of the Tur kish woman, Enaire .—A. letter from Anapa informs us that the Governor, Zia Bay, is busily occupied in providing localities for a body of 6,000 Circassian immigrants who have recently come to establish themselves there.—The recentfine weather has completely broken up the last remnants of ice on the Danube, and the navigation of that river is now quite free.—We learn from Salonica that the produce of the cot- ton crop will probably amount to 100,000 bales of 50 okes each. About two-thirds of this quantity has been already exported. The import trade in this city during the past year has been also very active. The customhouse receipts for the past year amount to 15 millions of piastres.—We have intelligence from Trebisonde of painful interest. The unfortunate Circassians, driven from their native districts under circumstances which we have often narrated, and which are familiar to our readers, continue to swarm into into that city in great numbers. Towards the end of last month there were as many as 10,000 of these unhappy people clustered within the walls. Typhus fever and other diseases had carried away 3,000 of them since the 10th December, and the contagion had spread greatly amongst the ordinary inhabitants. The evil, however, having assumed serious proportions, the Government, on the requisition of the Board, have, we learn, despatched Dr. Barozzi to Trebi sonde, with full powers to take every sanitary measure that he may deem necessary to arrest this affliction. Dr. 13,- rozzi's talents and experience, and his energy of ehirecier, lead us to hope fir desirable results from his mission. We understand that he is about to camp the Circassians out in tents, to organise hospitals, introduce dis:nfectants, put the cemeteries in proper orde r, and ado p t eve ry posrible hygienic means to relieve Trebi sonde from th e scourge which stalks abroad rßleznltlEyffenai'the inspe c t or of the province of Td h o e n r e ee submitted to the G overnment a itz re part representing that if certain works were executed to fa cilitate irrigation from the river which passes by Tzanik. a considerable quantity of land would be rendered available for the cultivation of cotton, rice, and sugar.

An Trade has, moreover, been granted to Hogen Serkis, residing in Tzanik, giving permission to open a sugar factory in that locality." CHINA. Wo take the following from the Overland Chum Mail of February 15 " Our dates from Shanghai are to February 8, and from Japan to February 6. " The past fortnight has been marked by no pro minent incidents, but the slow current of events is not without significance. That portion of the pro vince of Kiangsu which is south of the Yang-tsze, and which includes Nanking in the east and Shang hai in the west, is, over half its extent, again under the sway of the Imperialists. " From Pekin we have no news, the cold weather ' aving closed up the usual access to the capital. " From Japan the news wears a decidedly pacific aspect. Ambassadors are again opi,the point of Betting - out for Pnrespr, st haat wiach may of itself be accepted as a guarantee against hostilities for some time to come. The Prussian treaty has at length been ratified, and the Swiss are said to have obtained a treaty. The American Minister has procured several important tariff reductions, and the French Minister has availed himself of the same privilege. " In Shanghai settlement the prevalence of crime is arousing the serious attention of those in autho rity, and we hear that arrangements are in progress for the punishment of native criminals by foreign authorities. This is an important measure, and it is to be hoped that it may be successfully carried out. " From the ports on the Yangtsze river we have no news of importance. "From Foochow we learn that the district man darin is about to be degraded for his inefficiency in quelling the recent anti-missionary riots. " SHANGHAI, Feb. 8. " Imports.—The pressure in the money market last reported appeared to increase as the day of settlement, China new year, approached, keeping all Chinese dealers out of the market. The decline in exchange has not led to any further speculative purchases, and the few sales that have been effected are principally forced ; but now that the holidays are over a better demand and improved prices may be looked for. The transactions in English manu factures have been exceedingly small, and prices cannot be said to have varied from our lest. Ameri can goods have not been in demand, but stocks are considerably increased. In metals tinplated have been inquired for at quotations, but metals gene rally are dull; quotations unchanged. Nothing has been done in rice ; but, as stocks are very small, both an advanco in price and an active demand may soon be looked for. Sugar has participated in the general dullness; the few sales made have been at our quotations. Coals—Sydney has been in demand ; other qualities generally inactive." Two More Shocking Deaths from Excessive Drinking, On Saturday Hr. John Humphreys, the Iliadleles coroner, held an inquiry touching the death of James Hooper, aged 47 years, Henri. Saver, 5, Anchor-01(2y, St. George's-in-the-East, said that the deceased was a mariner. On Wednesday week he returned from Melbourne, Australia, in the ship Sussex. Upon his arrival in the East India Docks the deceased re ceived .£lO. He spent the whole week walking about the streets from public house to public-house drinking rum. During the whole of that time'lic had not been sober for a single bcur. Oa last Tuesday night two men brought him home to witness's house drunk. He had not even a half penny left. out of the £lO. Deceased was what was called a " quiet soaker"—he used to drink by himself, and never ask any one to joia him. During the night he kept calling out, " Give me more rum ; I want more rum, more rum." In the morning he suddenly pulled the clothes over his head, fell forward, and died. Witness had offered him coffee, but he declined it. _ _ _ Dr. Brookes deposed that the death of the deceased arose from effusion on the brain, caused by excessive drinking. The jury returned a verdict of death from effusion on the brain arising from excessive drinking. The same coroner held a second inquest on the body of Hugh Bordner, aged 45 years. Deceased was a bootmaker, residing at 2, Spencar-road, Hornsey New Town. On the 3d of March his wife died, and since that time he had not been sober. On last Satur day evening he was fcund lying on the floor of his room insensible, and his head covered with blood. He had fallen from the top to the bottom of the staircase while drunk. He was conveyed in a cab to the London Hospital, where he expired on Wednesday last. Mr. Hughes, surgeon, said that the deceased died from delirium tremens brought on by excessive drinking. Verdict, "Death from delirium tremens, brought on by excessive drinking." THE STEAM RAMS.—On Friday the commission to examine the Pasha of Egypt, in the case of the Attor ney-General v. Laird and Others, was despatched to Cairo. Sir Laurence Palk has given notice of a motion in the House of Commons, on the re-assembling of Parliament on the subject. A MARRIAGE WITHOUT A MINISTER.—At Glas gow, on Monday, says the North British Mail, a long-betrothed couple intended being joined together in the "holy bonds," but at the last hour found themselves em barrassed by the fact that the bridegroom had not resided the legal period in this country. He had. ignorant of the requirements of the Scotch law, left England last week, and arrived at Glasgow, anticipating no difficulty in the way of being at once married. The want of domicil e qualification appeared, however, an insurmountable ba rrier, a n d business preventing t o England a long stayal one, in the a s coLn d t e r r y a h n e d se a e seemed wiser likely m an t . o re turn A lawyer was applied to, as being the most likely person to solve the dilemma arising from the law; and though, as Shakspeare says, "marriage is a matter of more worth than to be dealt in by attorneyship," the perplexed bride groom found that the assistance of a shrewd lawyer was everything on the occasion. The friends of the bride and bridegroom having assembled at the dining hall of the Bedford Hotel at noon, the brid e , accompan i ed by Mr. W. M.

The mar ried couple with their friends thereupon proceeded to the office of Mr. Struthers, and having been duly registered, shortly afterwards started for London.
